Compiling ASN.1 Module

By default, the ASNDT aren not shipped with any ASN.1 Compiler, but it define a asnCompiler extension point which can be contributed by other plugins to make up a programming language specific ASN.1 Compiler to automatically generate data structure from ASN.1 files.

An ASN.1 compiler takes ASN.1 specifications as input, and generates programming language data structures plus functions for encoding/decoding. A set of run-time libraries provides ASN.1 encoding and decoding functions and auxiliary functions to operate on application messages.
